No idea how much room there is in the tunnel, but an LT77 from an SD1 would be the easiest route.

Hi Chris
And thanks for that I've been bidding on one that recently came up on ebay but just missed out . But there is a couple of mgbt v8 on now but they look narrower than the sd1 box not sure if thats true
I know that their is a couple of short videos on YouTube of v8s in hunters but trying to find out more from them is proving difficult
Regards dave
